Considering these laptops are for the most part manufactured in China anyway, how does bringing them back there in anyway give China access to any "controlled technology" they don't already have?
I think by referring to "controlled technology" with airquotes, he meant porn.

Wait, Cmdr Taco has a blog? Since when? That's cool! Why didn't he start blogging a long time ago? It would have been cool to read tech news and articles posted by him.
After getting woken by a 140db rickroll at 4am, You get scalded by 140 degree water.. because the ex you pissed off screwed around with your preferences...
You're still late for work, because you kept getting cut off by those diving for the Priority Lane. You, of course, can't afford the tolls, so have to suffer in the shared public lane.
The robot maintenance engineer is actually the 80 year old guy whose (still) 15 years away from retirement, due to everyone else's increased life expectancy, and the latest government pension grab-back. He can't be arsed to learn metric, and keeps screwing up the robot's sensor parameters. The robot travels 3 meters instead of three feet, and dumps your sammich on your lap.
When you call in sick, the HR Drone does a worth/risk calculation on you, taking into account the amount of time your sick day is going to cost the company based on your projects. Your salary is automatically docked the expected value of your absence. Since you've already used your sick day this year, you must also provide documentation in the next 12 hours or face termination.
The CDC diagnoses you with AIDS. Fortunately, it's one of those mild, 24-hour AIDS. Since your health plan doesn't include a delivery premium, you have to send your car out on your own electrical dime to pick up your meds. Your CID automatically correlates your social calendar with the incubation time of your AIDS, and sends notices to your partners, and posts it on your public feeds anyways. It also packages the whole report and ships it off to HR, not like that's needed, since HR monitors your social and medical feeds in real time. Your worth/risk score is adjusted again, penalizing you for your undesirable social behaviour. The company would rather not be associated with anyone who could damage their brand by engaging in "unseeming" social activities. You're instantly terminated. Your 2-day severance package is reduced by the sick day, plus early-termination penalties. The bill for 1 week's pay arrives in your inbox, the funds already removed from your savings account.
After leaving the pharmacy, your driverless car is spotted by a pack of organized thieves. Your car passes through their wireless interdict field, and they easily break in, steal your medication, and are out without even stopping the car. Your car arrives at your home, sans medicine or any evidence it was broken into. Now, without a job and without health insurance, you cannot afford to replace the pills. You must quickly find employment to afford you meds before your immune system shuts down and you die. Of course, now you'll never pass the mandatory health screens or social network background checks. You figure you've got a good two years left, for some definition of "good".
When I was shopping for an ultrabook, I found the MacBook Air was quite competitively priced. I wasn't terribly impressed with the competition either -- the Samsung Series 7, for example, is not only more expensive for the same specs, but it's made of plastic!
The Series 9 isn't bad. I've had the 2012 version with the Ivy Bridge for a few months now. Aluminum case, matte screen, good keyboard, long battery life, thin, light. It is on the pricier side, though, $1300 CAD when I bought it (though it did come with a free XBox, the sale of which helped defer the cost). If Samsung ever dropped the price by about $200, and made it much easier to order in North America, I think they could take a huge chunk of Apple's sales.
Man, can you imagine if those funds had been put into researching and building actualfusion centers? The US would have nigh-unlimited energy and resources to distribute around the world, ending famine, starvation, poverty and oil tyrants. THAT would have done a hell of a better job of eliminating terrorists, I bet you.
Not to me! Do it to Julia Realname! Do it to Julia Realname! I don't care what you do! Poke her fake face off! Strip her farmville animals to the bone! Not Halcyon! DO IT TO JULIA REALNAME!
I'm not surprised security isn't strong - given the Virgin Media (ISP) account puts a 10 character limit on your password. Seriously. 10 is woefully short as a maximum.
You think that's sad? Go to their mobile phone account site. You know how you log in? Enter your phone number (public information), followed by a FOUR DIGIT PIN. Yes, I used bold, italic, and underlined for that. The ONLY thing standing between you and someone with your phone number being an asshole is, at most, 10,000 possible numbers. Surely no one could brute force 10,000 numbers!!!!
1) raprep plate from same/similar make model color vehicle (I've seen a very convincing copy already)
try telling the police you weren't at the crime scene
criminals will always have the upper hand in a Big Brother/Nanny state
Devil's advocate: Wouldn't this be a good argument FOR plate tracking? Sure, the plates were at the crime scene. But if they start tracing the vehicle back on its journey, they'll find it came out of 123 Seedy Garage Lane. They'll also have a record of your car pulling into 1701 Enterprise Blvd., parking, and never leaving.
Curious (and too lazy to google)-- At 5.5 trillion K, they aren't going to just stick a thermometer in there. How do they measure how hot the plasma was?
You charge $50/hour to rent a testing room where you can try any electronics that you like, and a means to easily order from Amazon on the spot.
Close. You charge the electronic manufactures to have their items displayed (or charge them more to have them displayed at a premium location). Consumers can come in for free and test anything they want in any way. Maybe still sell a "premium" membership fee that get them access to a special lounge with coffee, but that's just a bonus.
Set up links to Amazon, newegg, etc-- or directly to the electronics manufacture themselves. Take a cut of each sale, roughly the same amount as Amazon offers anyways in their "referral links".
That explains why, about a month ago, I got a whole rash of "omg funy click here" spam mails for friends with yahoo email addresses (and only yahoo email addresses). I wonder how recent this password dump is. I might have to recommend another round of reset-to-something-complex. My first recommendation was STOP USING YAHOO FFS!, but no one does that =(

If they're doing this because of that Flame thingy, how is this going to affect how I play Angry Birds?!?!?!
Absolutely. Once SF switches from iPads to PADDs, and from Siri to Majel, there will be a whole FEDERATION of people following their lead...
